They state that theyI dislike your posture, reprimand i you for some slackness in your[ courtesy, or hint that you just don'tI do things right. Their judgment rubs you the wrong way and friendship ties become a mild hate. Take heed lest you yourself be such a bit baffling to the class, but Mr. Calkins understands it. The class have little blue notebooks in which they copy the main points of the chapter, for later reference. The entire class enjoy their work, and they are gathering the knowledge for practical purposes. FRESHMAN FLASHES Flash! Flash! Straight from the old algebra book and freshly chalk- ed on the board came the fresh- men "how-much-do-you-know-test" last Friday. The test was not half as difficult as some of the freshmen expected, since it was just over the work which they had covered the preceding week. Last week the freshmen general science class studied first aid. Quite a few of them learned that the way to cure a snake bite was not to kill the snake.--PW SENIOR INTERVIEW Bill "Daredevil" Mohn, a tall, dark, and handsome senior, is espe- cially well known for his driving. He entered L. H. S. when a fresh- man, and everyone always knows when it's his car that's coming. Bill's favorite subjects are phys- ics and solid geometry, both of which he is taking under Mr. Rahn: this year. Two Sundays remain until Easter Sunday. The theme for next Sun- day is, "The Charge I Accept". For Palm Sunday, "Prophet and Priest."

On Friday night the church school board will meet at the par- sonage for its regular business and study of the matters of the school, 7:30. Young Peoples meeting will be at the Federated church the rest of the month due to the special meetings being held at that church.

During the morning an ad- dress was presented in the chapel by A. H. Edgerton of Wisconsin, after which the group attended sev- eral vocational guidance discussions directed by various professors of the college. A pleasant afternoon was spent in attendance of "Io- lanthe" at the little theatre. ASSEMBLIES With assembly programs scarcer than high school parties lately, ev- eryone was somewhat astonished when they were ordered into the north study hall last Thursday for an assembly. The speaker, Pastor A. R. Longman of Arena, Wis., was introduced by the Reverend Ham- ilton. Pastor A. R. Longman, a well known Bible teacher, is con- ducting a series of Bible studies i this week at the Federated church; i he is illustrating the messages with the use of large charts and stereop- ticon views. One of these charts, illustrating the seven ages of the world history, was brought to :school and furnished the main ~lheme for his talk. As was ex- pressed afterwards by one stuclent, "All the good speakers never talk long enough, while the poor ones ramble on and on." But then, perhaps that's what makes them such. Another "super" assembly was held Friday. Since it was St. Pat- rick's Day, four senior boys, Lowell Andreas, Gordon Rahn, Otto Kruse, and Lee McHenry, appropriately attired with green bow ties, con- ducted the program. A short bi- ography of the life of St. Patrick was given by Lowell, followed by group singing of several Irish songs led by Gordon. Otto then gave a few highlights in the history of Ireland, followed by a free-for-all of Irish jokes, until interrupted by an Irish cop, portrayed very effect- ively by Lee McHenry. Then with "Faith and Begorryl Ye can be get- tin' back to work!" from Mr. Calk- ins, school studies were again re- sumed.--EM SHADOWS The coming of future events cast a shadow on the present: March 20-24--Pick one-act plays. March 24--Music Contest. March 31--7th and 8th program. April 5--Senior pictures taken. SENIOR NEWS The sociology class has been studying labor organizations and unemployment. Perhaps we can find out more about strikes if we interview our own strikers when they return. • The English class has been study- ing many works of Tennyson and Browning. Many found enjoyment in Arnold's "Sohrab and Rustum" if not for any other reason than its contrast with the other things we have been reading. The second year home economics class had some bad luck with their cakes the other day: two out of four of them became somewhat burned. Even if they were not tops, they seemed to disappear very rapidly, when the girls started to sample them.--BM JUNIOR JOTS The Junior English Class have been writing letters of all descrip- tions: personal letters, business let- ters, information letters, application letters, and bread and.butter let- ters. The practice has been con- stant and the effects good. The American history class has been taking up current problems this week. War seems to be the main topic of conversation, whether it comes from the American His- tory Book or the daily paper. The psychology class has begun to study about perception. It is Last year in "The Pampered Dar- ling" Bill played the leading role. He was also a very capable stage manager for "Here Comes Charlie" the Junior Class play. He partici- pated in Boys' Glee Club during his first two years of high school and was also a very able cheer leader in his sophomore and junior years. When he graduates, Bill would like to take an engineering course at some college--he hasn't decided which--and then learn to fly. If he doesn't do that, he thinks that he will go into partnership with his father to farm. Happy landings, Bill! Perhaps we have another Howard Hughes with us.--PF.

The second grade is studying how you to attend the remaining ser- vices of our Christian Fellowship and Bible Teaching Campaign with Pastor Longman of Arena, Wiscon- sin, as our speaker bringing us in- teresting and helpful messages from God's Holy Word. The attendance and increase in interest indicates the measure of blessing and help we are receiving. Plan to attend. Sunday morning the subject will be, "The Second Coming of Our Lord and why we believe the pres- ent age is rapidly drawing to close." Why all the chaos and tur- moil on every hand? God's Word gives full information about the times in which we live. When Christ was here on earth he said, "And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when These Things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads i for your redemption draweth nigh." What are the "These Things" spo- ken of? We invite you to be with us and see for yourself from God's Word.
